Let us say---that maybe you struggle with doing the right, yet the wrong seems in control, as is with me often.....NOW, the question is what to do about it or how do we handle it........I have for years loved Romans 7:15-25------If Paul fought the same battle yet over he came, then I find hope that just maybe I can over come. We have said over and over again that "sin- is sin"--"as sin--is sin"--as-- "sin--is sin"----I see here that Paul an appointed Apostle struggled with right and wrong-----Like I said, I find hope here,--so looking for hope??, read slowly and think on it and read it again----it can appear confusing -----

"15 For what I am doing, I do not understand.-- For what I will to do, that I do not practice;-- but what I hate, that I do.-- 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells;-- for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.-- 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do;-- but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. --20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
